True.
But I was thinking more along the lines of how MTH GM/VP Kulina stated earlier this summer that the 15% takeout rates on the Pick Four and Pick Five helps fuel wagering on those races individually.
That makes sense since Multi-race bettors have already handicapped
four or five races in that sequence.
Del Mar's 20.68% Pick Four on the other hand (even at the 50 cent base bet)
is clearly not the same catalyst.
Field Size has to be bolstered next year as well as a reduction in the price of the product. The 20.68% on "all exotics wagers" is already far above the national norm in the Exacta and Rolling Doubles pools.
